Found this recently and looking for information about it. It appears original and old, probably ww1 era

Certainly looks to be by the same hand!

There are some differences-- face shading (light/ dark) and the rank insignia are two things that jumped out to me.

It is interesting that another showed up!

If this is not the same painting it's amazing how almost exact the brush strokes match! Did you ever find out who the artist was? I can't read the signature you photographed

Here's another one I found that's the same, it must be a poster:

Looks like maybe all of us were fooled! I've never heard of an 'enhanced print'!

I don't know about that assessment. I have heard of the process but thought it was a late 20th century creation. The Giclee print is what I am familiar with.

I guess the artist could have produced a lightly printed canvas that he painted over?

The art is not that complicated-- I'd be more inclined to think that the artist created several examples of a popular/ saleable motif.

At any rate, I am comfortable that it is "of the era" however it was created.
